1-- do you mind if I sit here?
2-- no, of course not. Go ahead.
1-- don't I know you?
2-- yes, now that you mention it, I think we had a chemistry class together in high school.
1-- you're right! How are you? It's been a long time!
2-- What did you do after high school?
1-- I went straight to university afterwards. What about you?
2-- I took a year off to go travelling.
1-- that sounds exciting. Where did you go?
2-- I went all over the world. It was the best year of my life. Where did you go to school?
1-- I went to a small school in Connecticut. It has a very good reputation for its languages department.
2-- Oh, did you study a foreign language?
1-- yes, I got a grant to study Chinese.
2-- that's a very difficult language to learn, isn't it?
1-- it is, but it's very rewarding.
2-- so you can speak Chinese?
1-- I can, but not as well as I'd like to. I'll be studying Chinese until the day I die!
2-- I think most languages take a lifetime to learn well.
